As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to 36 down. But moderate relaxation is necessary for a healthy mind and body.

Stress is a 37 part of everyday life and there is no way to 38 it. In fact, it is not the bad thing that it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is important to provide motivation and give 39 to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.

The amount of stress a person can bear 40 very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such 41 are obviously chief material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at first 42 of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make a choice between 43 and fight. And in more ancient days the choices made the 44 between life and death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it requires the same response. It is when such a reaction 45 long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes _ 46 . Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart diseases have 47 links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives we need to find ways to deal with it. It would be unwise to do so even if we could.

So what do you think of stress? What is your way to deal with it?

36. A. turn B. get C. calm D. slow

37. A. terrible B. hard C. natural D. physical

38. A. accept B. avoid C. solve D. tolerate

39. A. instruction B. influence C. resource D. purpose

40. A. spends B. calls C. depends D. insists

41. A. characters B. situations C. personalities D. patterns

42. A. impression B. sight C. view D. glance

43. A. heaviness B. pressure C. fright D. peace

44. A. choice B. difference C. promise D. decision

45. A. lasts B. stands C. lives D. continues

46. A. changeable B. endangered C. injured D. balanced

47. A. developed B. found C. achieved D. established

SECTION C

Directions: Complete the following passage by using ONE word that best fits the

context.

Dear Xiaohua:

I’m very glad to receive your letter. From your letter, I know you have shown 48 great interest in inventing new things. That’s great. As for how to be an inventor, there is no quick answer to 49 .

Coming from different cultures and having different backgrounds, inventors do not seem to have much 50 common. But creative thinking, 51 is greatly valued, is perhaps the basic skill an inventor should have. In order to explore new possibilities, you will have to learn to break 52 from old thought patterns. When you get stuck, try to look at the problem in 53 many ways as possible. Each new 54 may improve your understanding.

More importantly, always keep it in your mind 55 success is no accident. It is the result of a long process of trial and error. Above all, the main task for you is to study hard and try to learn more knowledge. This, of course, will lay a solid foundation.

Hope your future invention will make a difference.

Good luck.

Yours,

Wang Li

PART THREE READING COMPREHENSION

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or un¬finished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked with A、B、C and D, Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.

A

Statistically, air travel is by far the safest way to travel, and you can make flying even safer, just by following these simple rules. As your chances of being involved in an air accident are practically nil(零), many of these tips concern what you should and shouldn't do to make your journey safer when you are airborne(升空的).

● Fly on non-stop routes

Most accidents occur during the takeoff, climb, descent and landing phases of a flight, so flying non-stop reduces your exposure to these complex procedures.

● Choose larger aircraft.

Although small aircraft have very good safety records, those with more than 30 passenger seats are designed to comply(遵守)with much stricter regulations and are tested more regularly to make sure they still comply. Also, in the unlikely event of a serious accident, larger aircraft provide a better opportunity for passenger survival.

● Pay attention to the pre-flight safety briefing

The information may seem repetitious(重复的), but it's worth listening to the flight attendants. And even if you’ve flown before, it doesn’t mean you know everything about the aircraft you're on, such as the location of the closest emergency exit.

● Store things safely

Never put very heavy articles in the overhead storage bins. They may fall out when someone opens the bin and cause injury. Also, the bin may not be able to hold heavier objects during turbulence(气流).

● Keep our seat belt fastened while you are seated

Cabin crew always tell you this, but it’s important. You would be seriously injured if the plane hits unexpected turbulence. Always fasten your seat belt if you are told to. The general rule of flying is this: If you are told to do something, do it first and ask questions later.

● Let the flight attendant pour your hot drinks

Flight attendants are trained to handle hot drinks like coffee or tea in a crowded aisle on a moving aircraft, so allow them to pour the drink and hand it to you. Never ask to take a coffee pot from one of them.

56. What is the overall reason for these air safety tips?

A. What to do in the event of a crash.

B. How to avoid turbulence.

C. How to improve safety while you are flying.

D. How to avoid injury.

57. The underlined word “those” in the second tip refers to ____

A. smaller planes B. passengers

C. larger aircraft D. safety records

58. The underlined phrase “The general rule” in the fifth tip refers to ____.

A. anything the flight staff tell you to do B. general safety advice

C. walking around the plane D. pouring hot drinks

59. Which of the following is NOT true?

A. Larger planes have more safety checks and are safer in an accident.

B. Take-offs are safer on non-stop flights than landings.

C. Every aircraft is different, so the safety procedures may be different.

D. Seat belts should be worn to protect against turbulence.

60. The best title of the passage should be____.

A. The Safest Way to Travel B. Air Safety Tips

C. Non-stop Routes D. How to Fly a Plane
